Sauce: http://nisamerica.com/games/yomawari/

A young girl is walking her dog Poro around town at dusk when a tragic accident forces her to return home with only Poro's leash in hand. The girl's sister commands her to stay home while she goes out into the night to search for the dog. Time passes. Growing impatient, the girl decides to search for her missing sister and dog herself.

But when she steps foot outside, she realizes that this is not the same town. The darkness has made the town unfamiliar, and she appears to be utterly alone...save for the spirits that stalk her. The girl must hide from, outsmart, or outrun the hunting spirits while she searches for clues to find her loved ones.

There we go, confirmed at last.

Did the import threads ever produce any hands-on impressions?

sixteen-bit · Feb 23, 2016

Thrilled this is getting localized.

InfiniteNine · Feb 23, 2016

Totes grabbing this it looks like a fun little game.

Anyway, I finished the game tonight. Loved it. I like that there were a lot of random scary things that can happen around town and that there are a number of more meaningful scripted events as well. I also liked that there were a good variety of enemies and that many of them have unique ways of being dealt with.

Pretty damn good, 9/10. It's fairly short, though I feel like if you do everything in the game it's enough content to justify the price of a full game. It's probably ~4-6 hours long, 8-10 for a platinum. Oh, except for the trophy that's just "play the game for 50 hours."

mao2 · Feb 23, 2016

I like the logo.

WiiRevolution1 · Feb 23, 2016

Finally another top down horror game on a system I own. This is my jam. Been waiting for an NA announcement. Too bad about no exact release date but I will happily wait. Hopefully they do a physical version and this time on amazon and not limited since using their site is bad for me.

Yomawari Physical Editions: If they do it will be VERY limited. stay tuned...

nephilimdj · Feb 23, 2016

I really like the art style

Yasumi · Feb 23, 2016

Can't wait. Love NIS's efforts into these style of games. I'd take this over a lot of things any day.

Yeah, I liked it a lot. It didn't quite make it into my top 10 for 2015 (though in retrospect it should have), but I still think about the game from time to time. Really good atmosphere and exploration.

thanks for your hands on impression, really looking forward to playing it!

Tapejara · Feb 23, 2016

That first screenshot looks both adorable and terrifying at the same time. I'm so in.

NinjamicWZ · Feb 23, 2016

Aw yes. I've been paranoid about not importing this for awhile now, and I hope NISA does another physical release for us like Firefly Diaries got.

I love ~~being a turtle~~ Vita announcements and localizations this year..

Apparently there will be a very limited physical release and this was just announced today!

Oh fun. Cuter horror games are about the only horror games I can handle so this looks right up my alley, haha.

It's a late 2016 game, limited edition will probably go up around August or so.

This. LOL

Alfredo · Feb 23, 2016

Looks really cool, and I'm on board for more Vita games! Never heard of it before, though. I guess I gotta look up impressions.

xzeldax3 · Feb 23, 2016

Wow, I remember thinking this looked super interesting! I can't wait to check it out.

Grim Patron · Feb 23, 2016

Awesome. Will buy and hopefully they do a limited edition.

calc84maniac · Feb 23, 2016

I like what they did with the logo.

I wonder if they're aiming for a release around Halloween? That's when it released in Japan last year.

semisonic · Feb 23, 2016

Oh man, I'm already on board!
Anybody know where I could listen to a bit of the OST? That trailer theme was absolutely amazing!

Parakeetman · Feb 23, 2016

The stupid gif had done up for the import OT lol.

Yeah they did a great job with the title / logo. Dig it a lot.

Soyongdori · Feb 23, 2016

Is this isometric survival horror?

Finale Fireworker · Feb 23, 2016

This was my most wanted localization and I am so relieved it's finally coming. Now I just hope it gets a cartridge, because I'm sure there won't be any room at all on my Vita in "late 2016."

Soyongdori said:

Yes!

Chaos2Frozen · Feb 23, 2016

Awesome! I don't usually play survival horror games, but this might be one I'm willing to brave. There's justsomething about the story, setting and art style combine.

P.S - "Night Alone" is a great subtitle.

lazyproblems · Feb 23, 2016

Very excited for this game, love the style. I'll be sure to pre-order the limited edition.

Pellegri Testament · Feb 23, 2016

Ya after looking into how long the game takes to finish (5ish hours if you're thorough, there is however a 50hr trophy for the plat for some reason), the only real explanation as to why it's taking so long to release it, is that they're holding out for Halloween.

Kresnik258 · Feb 23, 2016

Awesome news. My friend lent me he Japanese copy and I played a bit, it's a very beautiful game and I enjoyed what I played of it. Will hold off until the English version now it's been announced.

Rymuth · Feb 23, 2016

Had my eye on this for ages.

Vita means life.

Sparrowhawk · Feb 23, 2016

Damn, saw this in a thread a while back and was certain it had no chance of being localized.

If I'm playing on a PSTV, can I leave the console running overnight?

Moonlight · Feb 23, 2016

Fuck yes.

Now that's better.

GodzillaDB · Feb 23, 2016

I have to confess that the artwork emanates the same vibes as Yume Nikki. With VA-11 HALL-A nabbing a physical release along with this project, I might finally grab a Vita this coming year! The question still lingers over whether I should wait for another "white list" exploit for the PSTV as I don't travel too often for a portable device and, consequently, I like having these types of games on the big screen. Either way, I look forward to seeing the limited edition details once they're announced.

Videoneon · Feb 23, 2016

Wasn't expecting this, but nice to hear!

Pata · Feb 27, 2016

Not sure how limited the physical version is supposed to be, but a known Spanish retailer has listed the game for a physical release with an October 14th release date.

That retailer is known for selling imports, but the listing is definitively for the West as Bamco is listed as the distributor and they are the usual distributor of NISA's products in Spain.
